Descripción

General description

Urea is a colorless, odorless solid. It has prism-like crystals. It forms insoluble nitrate salts with nitric acid and oxalate salts with oxalic acid. On reaction with alkanes or substituted alkanes, it affords crystal-lattice inclusion compounds.

Urea is the most commonly used slow release nitrogen fertilizer.

Application

Urea has been used in the following studies:

• Synthesis of SnO₂ nanoparticles.
• Synthesis of urethanes, ureides and semicarbazides.
• Denaturation of protein isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y15696 strain.
• Protein electrophoretic studies.

Used for the denaturation of proteins and as a mild solubilization agent for insoluble or denatured proteins. Useful for renaturing proteins from samples already denatured with 6 M guanidine chloride such as inclusion bodies. May be used with guanidine hydrochloride and dithiothreitrol (DTT) in the refolding of denatured proteins into their native or active form.

Utilizada para la desnaturalización de proteínas y como suave agente de solubilización para las proteínas insolubles o desnaturalizadas. Útil para la renaturalización de proteínas de muestras ya desnaturalizadas con cloruro de guanidina 6 M como los cuerpos de inclusión. Puede utilizarse con clorhidrato de guanidina y ditiotreitol (DTT) en el repliegue de las proteínas desnaturalizadas a su forma nativa o activa.
